Program Professional Framework

CILT Endorsed Supply Chain Risk Management

Program Overview

Supply disruptions from port congestion, Red Sea rerouting, single-source suppliers and sudden demand swings have made risk management a core logistics discipline rather than an insurance afterthought. This course builds a structured supply chain risk process aligned with ISO 31000: mapping the network beyond tier-one suppliers, identifying and scoring risks, selecting mitigation such as dual sourcing, buffer stock and contractual protection, and embedding continuity planning with ISO 22301 principles. Participants work with risk registers, heat maps and early-warning indicators drawn from GCC import-dependent supply chains in energy, retail and government procurement.

Learning Outcomes

✓Map an end-to-end supply network to tier-two level and identify critical nodes, single points of failure and chokepoints.
✓Build a supply chain risk register that scores likelihood and impact using an ISO 31000-based methodology.
✓Select and justify mitigation options such as dual sourcing, safety stock, alternative routing and contractual clauses for the top risks.
✓Define key risk indicators and trigger thresholds that give early warning of supplier, logistics and geopolitical disruption.
✓Prepare a supply continuity plan for a critical product line covering recovery time objectives and alternate supply arrangements.

Applied Project & Assessment

Applied Project

Participants produce a risk assessment for one critical supply line in their organization: a tier-two network map, a scored risk register with heat map, mitigation actions with owners, key risk indicators and a continuity plan summary for management review.

Assessment

Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
